Model 3 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Does anyone have any tips for pulling off the mirror caps? I'm trying to replace my black caps with some body-colored ones. The caps aren't budging as easily as I see in videos for other cars. LittleBlue! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I have a cracked one that may offer me a good look in to what's holding them together. I'll take a look and let you know what I see. I have a 2014, not sure what year you have.

LittleBlue! 102 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I took my mirror (back?) Off. As I mentioned, my mirror is cracked on the bottom piece that actually connects to the car. My mirror back popped off and their are no screws or bolts. I took a picture of the inside to show where the snaps or connecting points are. Carefully work them off and you should be good. If you are putting new ones on it may not be the end of the world if the pieces you are removing end up cracked. Best of luck! Edited September 3, 2018 by LittleBlue!

Model 3 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have a 2018. The caps look different. I was trying to avoid breaking the currents ones in case I felt like switching back. Link to post Share on other sites
